Coupling device of a transport cart with a structure of a supply panel for medical applications

Abstract

A coupling device of a transport cart, through which the transport cart can be coupled to a structure of a supply panel for medical applications, wherein the supply panel can be positioned through a ceiling mount. The coupling device has a first and a second jaw that can be coupled to the structure of the supply panel, wherein, in order to couple the transport cart to the structure, the first jaw, via a first latching device, and the second jaw, via a second latching device, can be locked into a closed position (FIG. 6) from a stopped, uncoupled open position upon mechanical pressure contact with the structure.

Description

BACKGROUNDTechnical Field[0001]The invention relates to a coupling device, and, particularly to a device for coupling a cart to a structure.BRIEF SUMMARY[0002]An object of at least one embodiment of the invention is to obtain a coupling device of a transport cart through which the transport cart can be coupled to a structure of a supply panel for medical applications, wherein the supply panel can be positioned through a ceiling mount; said coupling device enables easy coupling and decoupling. As an additional object of the invention, the generically equivalent coupling device should enable functionally secure coupling.[0003]With the aid of the coupling device according to embodiments of the invention, a transport cart can be coupled to a structure (e.g., support pipes of a multifunctional rack) of a supply panel with the easiest of handling. The supply panel can thereby be moved or positioned by the user horizontally in the room. The connection (coupling) of the two components, tran...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The invention is a coupling device that allows a transport cart to be easily connected to a supply panel for medical applications. The device is designed to be secure and functionally safe, ensuring that the cart moves in the same way as the supply panel without requiring any additional effort from the operator. The device also prevents accidental disconnection between the cart and the panel. Overall, the invention simplifies the process of connecting the cart to the panel, making it easier to move and position the supply panel in the room."

Problems solved by technology

This ensures that “single-sided” coupling is not possible, because the coupling device does not lock as long as only one side of the coupling device is routed on the support pipe.
